SQUIDCAM II

[squidviscious]

That sounds like them, there are 11 in the tank at the moment. Fortunately ive seen them feeding now (was a concern earlier)

watching them eat is always fun.

Hey, who turned the lights off?

Here's my current view.

 

[squidviscious]

Thanks for that view.
One of our lamp bulbs decided to go to bulb heaven last night unfortunately.
Should be better viewing now.

It's great to see this started back up again

bulb heaven never seemed to be cruel to me, until now. It just happened that I wanted to see it when it went out.

I've just returned; I can assure you that the little guys are in there (I've just returned from the lab to see them) - it's just that we've forgotten just how small that they are at this age (1 week), and how difficult they are to see (I've just tried and failed using the camera).

We'll change the backdrop to the old black card, because the camera wants to focus on the creases in the cloth rather than what's in the middle of the tank. Poor squidvicious has had a bit of a rough week ... tiz a stressful time, this early on. Things will look good very soon.

Wow, I'm really glad that it isn't just my lack of squidcam operating skill!

 

[chrono_war01]

yeh, focusing really isn't great on a webcam.

 

[Infusoria]

They are there, I've seen them.

Just realised it's back, are you raising the same species Steve? Also, any ideas as to why it comes out in jap?

 

[chrono_war01]

it's always been jap for me, and I think Steve O has mentioned that it's the same sort of squid.

 

[squidviscious]

Yep, its the same species. Sepioteuthis australis.
What do you mean by jap??

I think he's referring to the fact that the controls come out labled in Japanese on some browsers/java platforms. They're in English on my linux laptop, but Japanese on my mac. I pointed this out to one of the webmaster types when sh*thead was still about.

 

[Steve O'Shea]

You can definitely see them now; I've just been watching
